On Nirvana, Tainted Black is able to hit all the touchstones of modern rock. Drawing considerably on Black Album-era Metallica and Seether with vox building upon Social Distortion and Squeeze, Tainted Black settle in quite nicely with their latest single. The chugging guitar / drum dynamic kicks Nirvana into a higher gear. Gradually taking on a quicker momentum, Tainted Black is able to tattoo the melodies of Nirvana deep into the minds and hearts of listeners. The single pops with furious vocals, intelligent instrumentation, and a hooky sound that will hold up to repeat plays.
